From traditional lighting to smart lighting, from traditional unmaintained lights to AI unmaintained lights, the rapid popularization and development of technologies and applications such as the Internet of Things and AI are setting off a change in the field of intelligent lighting about "light".


Especially in the home lighting scene, whether it is the form of the product, the number of SKUs, or the richness and intelligence of the scene, the AI ​​mainless light is constantly bringing new cognition and experience to people in this era.


In terms of use, AI mainless lights can be divided into main lighting, atmosphere lighting, focus lighting, decorative lighting, etc.; in terms of scenes, they can be subdivided into space scenes and experience scenes, such as porch, living room, bedroom... and learning mode , romantic mode, sleep mode...


In terms of characteristics, compared with the lighting scheme that only realizes intelligent control, AI headless lights have rich personalized lighting scenes and the ability to actively adjust lighting, such as 24h time-sharing management, season management, dancing with the sound, and Shadow dance, group/partition control...


These new scenarios and experiences are highly dependent on cloud computing, edge computing, AI machine training, BI big data analysis and other technologies, and also put forward higher requirements for product design and SaaS services.

Today, we specially invited Daniel Wang, the product director of Ayla IoT, the leader of the Internet of Things, to tell you about the changes in users' demand for lighting, the new trend of AI without main lights, and what kind of capabilities enterprises need to have to truly show humanity. Customized, high-quality, and diversified AI lighting solutions without main lights?

Q1: What is your opinion on the status quo and development trend of the lighting industry?

From the perspective of the entire industry, the lighting industry mainly has two markets: the commercial lighting market and the home lighting market, and Ayla Home, a whole-house smart brand built on the basis of Ayla's full-stack capabilities, mainly focuses on the home lighting market. So today I will mainly talk with you about the household lighting market. Recently, there are several trends:


First, users’ demand for lighting health is getting stronger and stronger. It can be seen from some popular products in the past few years, such as eye protection table lamps for children’s learning scenes. More and more attention is paid to this point of health, especially for the scenes of users such as the elderly and children.


Specifically, the light source itself may have eye protection features such as low blue light and no flicker, as well as health features such as light conforming to the biological clock and improving sleep quality.


Second, users have more and more decorative needs for lighting, that is, users have more and more personalized needs for lighting. For example, in the past few years, we have a product that is specially designed for the scenes of using computers for office work and playing games. The light shines on the computer screen, making our eyes more comfortable and the atmosphere stronger when we face the computer for a long time. feel.


Of course, this is just one of the points of the user's personalized needs, but it can be seen that in sleeping scenes, reading scenes, etc., users are paying more and more attention to personalized and customized lighting scenes.


However, there is not yet a very complete lighting solution for users in various and specific scenarios on the market, which can only be realized by purchasing a single lighting product, so this is the second demand of users.


Third, users have higher and higher demands for intelligent lighting. This point is actually related to the second point of individual needs we just mentioned, because traditional light bulbs cannot meet so many individual needs of users, while in bedrooms, living rooms, In the various home space scenes of the study room, different lights need to be integrated and linked with each other.


Secondly, it needs to be linked with other smart products, such as human body sensors, cameras, etc., to form richer scenes, so that it can meet more personalized needs of users. Of course, Ayla derived more intelligent scenes based on this basic point.


Q2: How does Ayla lay out the field of AI lighting without main lights? What is the trump card?

Ayla Home itself is positioned as the fourth generation of whole-house intelligence, that is, non-sensing, active, and multi-interactive smart home products and services. The AI ​​mainless light Aurora Aurora lighting solution is one of our most important core products , so as to officially enter the smart lighting industry, and also aims to become a leader and innovator in the field of smart lighting.


Because lighting is the most and most direct thing that users can perceive in the whole home space, and it is also the product that can bring the most abundant scene linkage with other smart products in the whole house smart system. The lighting scheme is providing users with more lighting scenes that meet health needs such as health, comfort, and nature, and individual needs.


Secondly, Ayla has the advantages in the whole stack and the whole industry chain. From cloud platform to chip module, to software, hardware and customer service, we have the technical strength of the entire industrial chain.


As the world's TOP 5 cloud platform, Ayla has provided IoT PaaS cloud solutions for dozens of operators around the world;

At the same time, based on a variety of communication chip modules, it provides a one-stop "cloud pipe edge" IoT solution for world-renowned customers in the home appliances, electrical lighting and other industries.


The third advantage is our focus on user experience. Ayla fully abides by the "user-centric" principle when making products. In the early stage of making AI mainless lights, we will conduct detailed user research, including lighting mode preferences, light perception, control habits, follow-up actions, etc. in different scenarios, and will conduct detailed user research during the initial prototype stage of the product Possibility testing.


After the product is released, we will also track users to conduct product satisfaction and recommendation value testing and research, and continue to upgrade and iterate products and optimize experience according to user feedback, so as to polish the entire AI smart lighting solution without main lights, and will Products are pushed to a higher level.


Based on the main advantages of the above three aspects, I believe that Ayla has the absolute strength and confidence to create an AI-based intelligent lighting solution based on user needs - Aurora Aurora.
